Predicting Pathological Response Within the 1st Week of Chemotherapy Using Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2010
Women with Breast Cancer who do not respond to chemotherapy may undergo months of treatment with little or no change in tumor size or overall outcome. The Researchers have demonstrated a previously undescribed \"metabolic flare\" response observed very early in neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients. The research can determine that this flare is predictive of overall therapy response and is due to both an inflammatory reaction and cell death induced by cytotoxic therapy.
